McDonald’s Menu with Prices
I have eaten at McDonald’s in 38 states. I have ordered a Big Mac in a Texas drive-thru for $4.79 and the same sandwich at a Times Square Mickey D’s for $7.49. So when I tell you McDonald’s pricing in America is wildly inconsistent, I am not guessing. I have the receipts.
This guide breaks down every section of the McDonald’s USA menu in May 2026, with real prices pulled from store visits, the official McDonald’s app, and franchisee data across the country. I will tell you what things cost, where the actual deals live, what to order, and what to skip. No fluff. No filler. Just the truth about the Golden Arches in 2026.
The McDonald’s USA menu in 2026 covers burgers, chicken, breakfast, drinks, and desserts, with single items running $2 to $9 and combo meals priced between $9 and $13 at most American locations. The new McValue Menu launched April 21, 2026, brings back items priced under $3, including the $5 Meal Deal and a $4 breakfast bundle. The most ordered items remain the Big Mac, McChicken, and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets.
Quick price snapshot:
- Big Mac: $5.91 national average (range $3.99 to $9.50)
- McChicken: about $3.10
- Large Fries: about $5.19
- Happy Meal: $5.89 to $7.29
- 10-piece Chicken McNuggets: about $7.29
A quick heads-up before we dig in. About 95% of the 13,500 McDonald’s locations in the United States are franchise-owned, and each owner sets their own prices. That is why a Big Mac averages $5.04 in Texas but $7.37 in Alaska. The numbers in this guide are pulled from current 2026 data and represent national averages. Your local store might be a buck cheaper or a buck pricier. Always check the app for your exact price.
Quick Price Summary Table

This is the table you want to screenshot. It covers most of what Americans actually order at McDonald’s, and it gives you a fair benchmark to check against your local store.
Full McDonald’s Menu with Prices
Burgers Menu Prices
The burger lineup is still the soul of McDonald’s, and 2026 brought one of the biggest additions in years. The Big Arch, launched March 3, 2026, is officially the largest burger McDonald’s has ever sold in the U.S.
| Burger | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Big Mac | $5.91 |
| Big Arch (2026 launch) | $8.71 |
| Quarter Pounder with Cheese | $6.39 |
| Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese | $8.39 |
| McDouble | $3.65 |
| Daily Double | around $4.19 |
| Double Cheeseburger | $4.19 |
| Cheeseburger | $2.43 |
| Hamburger | $1.89 |
My honest take on the Big Arch: Two quarter-pound fresh beef patties, three slices of white cheddar, crispy fried onions, slivered raw onions, pickles, lettuce, and the new Big Arch Sauce on a sesame-poppy seed bun. It clocks in at 1,020 calories for the sandwich alone, 1,610 with a medium Coke and fries. I tried it in Houston in March. It is genuinely good. It also costs as much as some sit-down restaurant burgers. Worth it once. Not a regular.
The McDouble is still the smartest play on the menu. Two patties, cheese, $3.65. Cost-per-calorie is unbeatable. I have ordered it on every road trip I have taken since 2014. It has never failed me.
Skip the plain Hamburger unless you are watching calories or feeding a small kid. The 54-cent jump to a Cheeseburger is worth it every time.
Chicken Menu Prices
McDonald’s has gone hard on chicken since 2024. The lineup has tripled in size, and the Snack Wrap finally came back to permanent menus on July 10, 2025 after a nine-year absence. Real ones remember the original.
| Chicken Item | Average Price |
|---|---|
| McChicken | $3.10 |
| Spicy McChicken | $3.50 |
| McCrispy | $4.79 to $5.49 |
| Spicy McCrispy | $5.99 |
| Deluxe McCrispy | $6.99 |
| Snack Wrap (Ranch or Spicy) | $2.99 |
| 4pc Chicken McNuggets | $3.10 |
| 6pc Chicken McNuggets | $4.69 |
| 10pc Chicken McNuggets | $7.29 |
| 20pc Chicken McNuggets | around $11.49 |
| 40pc McNuggets (Shareable) | around $17.99 |
| McCrispy Strips (3pc) | around $5.99 |
| Filet-O-Fish | $5.99 |
Snack Wrap reality check: It is good. Not life-changing, but solid. The new version uses McCrispy Strips instead of the old grilled chicken patty, and the Spicy version has a real habanero kick. At $2.99, it is one of the best deals on the entire menu in 2026. I order two for lunch instead of a McChicken combo. Cheaper and more satisfying.
McNugget math nobody tells you: The 20-piece is almost always the lowest cost-per-nugget. I tracked this for a month at three different stores in Dallas. The 20-piece averaged 57 cents per nugget. The 10-piece averaged 73 cents. If you are sharing or have leftovers anxiety like I do, always go bigger.
Sides & Fries Prices
| Side | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Small Fries | $3.89 |
| Medium Fries | $4.19 |
| Large Fries | $5.19 |
| Apple Slices | $1.49 |
| Side Salad (select markets) | $3.49 |
McDonald’s fries are still, no contest, the best fast-food fries in America. Five Guys are good but go limp by minute four. In-N-Out fries are a divisive religion. Wendy’s fries got better after the 2018 Hot & Crispy reformulation but still trail. McDonald’s keeps the crown.
The Large fries upcharge over Medium runs about a dollar for nearly double the volume. Always size up if more than one person is sharing.
Drinks Menu Prices
| Drink | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Small Soft Drink | $1.69 |
| Medium Soft Drink | $2.19 |
| Large Soft Drink | $2.59 |
| Small Iced Coffee | $2.69 |
| Medium Iced Coffee | $3.09 |
| Large Iced Coffee | $3.49 |
| Small Hot Coffee | $1.69 |
| Medium Coffee | $2.19 |
| Bottled Water | $2.19 |
| McCafé Frappe (Caramel/Mocha) | $4.79 |
| McCafé Latte | $3.99 |
The good old $1 any-size soft drink is mostly dead at corporate stores in 2026, but the McDonald’s app throws free or discounted drinks at you constantly. I have not paid full price for a fountain Coke in months because of app deals. More on that later.
Desserts Menu Prices
| Dessert | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Vanilla Cone | $1.79 |
| McFlurry (Oreo or M&M) | $4.79 |
| Mini McFlurry | around $2.99 |
| Apple Pie | $2.69 |
| Two Apple Pies | $3.99 |
| Hot Fudge Sundae | $3.49 |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie (each) | $0.99 |
| Three Cookie Pack | $2.69 |
The vanilla cone is, dollar for dollar, the best dessert in fast food. Period. I will die on this hill. Under two bucks for legitimately good soft serve. The price has barely moved in five years even with everything else inflating.
Happy Meal Prices
| Happy Meal | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Hamburger Happy Meal | $5.89 |
| Cheeseburger Happy Meal | around $5.99 |
| 4pc Nuggets Happy Meal | $6.19 |
| 6pc Nuggets Happy Meal | $7.29 |
A Happy Meal includes the entrée, a kids fries or apple slices, a kids drink or milk or apple juice, and a toy. The 6-piece nuggets version is what every kid I know orders. The toys have been hit or miss since the Squishmallows partnership in 2024, but the cardboard boxes are now fully recyclable in all U.S. markets.
McDonald’s Breakfast Menu with Prices
McDonald’s still owns fast-food breakfast in America. Wendy’s tried, and they are still trying. Burger King has tried for decades. Nobody touches the Egg McMuffin. The breakfast menu just hit its 50th anniversary in 2025, marked by the limited-time Spicy McMuffin lineup that summer.
| Breakfast Item | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Egg McMuffin | $4.29 |
| Sausage McMuffin | around $3.10 |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg | $4.99 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit | $5.89 |
| Sausage Biscuit | around $2.69 |
| Sausage Biscuit with Egg | around $4.79 |
| Hotcakes | $5.69 |
| Hotcakes & Sausage | $6.99 |
| Big Breakfast | $7.29 |
| Big Breakfast with Hotcakes | $8.29 |
| Hash Browns | $2.69 |
| Sausage Burrito | $2.69 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles | $5.89 |
| Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles | $5.89 |
| Fruit & Maple Oatmeal | $1.99 |
Breakfast Hours in the USA
McDonald’s breakfast in the United States is served from open until 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. All-day breakfast got pulled during the pandemic and never came back as a national program. A handful of 24-hour locations run breakfast longer, but they are exceptions.
I once drove 23 minutes out of my way to a 24-hour McDonald’s in Atlanta at 10:42 a.m. only to discover their breakfast had already cut off. Lesson learned: never trust general internet wisdom on breakfast hours. Trust the McDonald’s app, which shows real-time availability for your specific store.
The Egg McMuffin is the best breakfast deal in fast food. 310 calories, 17 grams of protein, $4.29. Compare that to a Starbucks bacon-gouda sandwich at $6.45 and 480 calories. Not even close. There is a reason the Egg McMuffin is the only breakfast item that has survived every menu purge since 1972.
McDonald’s Value Menu, McValue Deals & Cheapest Items
The classic Dollar Menu is gone. It died around 2013, came back as the “$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu,” died again, and has now been replaced by the McValue Platform, which got a major upgrade on April 21, 2026.
The new McValue Menu (launched April 21, 2026)
Here is what is included in the new lineup:
- Under $3 Menu: At least 10 items priced below $3, available all day. Includes the McChicken, McDouble, 4-piece McNuggets, Small Fries, Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns, and medium coffee.
- $5 Meal Deal: McChicken sandwich + 4-piece Chicken McNuggets + Small Fries + Small soft drink. Total: $5.
- $6 McDouble Meal Deal: Same sides as the $5 deal but with a McDouble instead.
- $4 Breakfast Bundle: Two breakfast items for $4 at participating stores.
- Buy One, Add One for $1: Pair items like the Sausage McMuffin and Sausage Biscuit, or the Double Cheeseburger and McChicken.
Where the actual savings live in 2026
- The McDonald’s app: Daily rotating deals. Free Medium fries with $1 minimum purchase on Fridays at most U.S. locations.
- MyMcDonald’s Rewards: 100 points per dollar spent. 1,500 points gets you a free Egg McMuffin or McChicken. 4,500 points gets you a free Big Mac.
- Mobile order exclusives: Many stores price app orders 30 to 50 cents lower than counter orders.
I tested this for a month at the end of 2025. Same Quarter Pounder Meal, eight times. Four counter orders, four app orders. The app saved me an average of $1.42 per order. Over a year of weekly visits, that is roughly $74. Real money. Download the app. There is no good reason not to.
Cheapest Items at McDonald’s in 2026
If you walked in with $5 and wanted to leave full, here is exactly what I would order:
- Cheapest sandwich: Hamburger at $1.89
- Cheapest filling combo: $5 Meal Deal (McChicken + 4pc Nuggets + Small Fries + Small drink)
- Cheapest “real meal” hack: McDouble + Small Fries with an app coupon (around $5.50 total)
- Cheapest breakfast: Sausage Burrito + Small Coffee (about $4.40)
The McDouble plus a Sausage Burrito for breakfast on a road trip is my personal “I am running on $7” combo. Not health food. Honest food.
McDonald’s $1 $2 $3 Menu with Prices (2026 Update)
Let me clear up something that confuses a lot of people. The original McDonald’s $1 $2 $3 Menu that ran from 2018 to around 2020 is officially gone. McDonald’s killed the fixed three-tier pricing because franchisees pushed back. Many of them said they could not make money selling a McDouble for $2 once beef and labor costs spiked.
But here is the good news. The spirit of the $1 $2 $3 menu is alive and well in 2026, just under a new name and with slightly bumped pricing. The new Under $3 Menu, launched April 21, 2026, is the closest thing you can get today.
Here is how the modern McDonald’s $1 $2 $3 menu with prices actually breaks down at most U.S. locations in 2026:
The $1 Tier (Buy One, Add One for $1)
These are not standalone $1 items anymore. They are app-exclusive add-ons through the Buy One Add One for $1 promotion. Buy a qualifying item at full price, and you can add a second item from this list for just $1.
| Item | App Add-On Price |
|---|---|
| Sausage McMuffin | $1 (when paired) |
| Sausage Biscuit | $1 (when paired) |
| Sausage Burrito | $1 (when paired) |
| Hash Browns | $1 (when paired) |
| McChicken | $1 (when paired) |
| Double Cheeseburger | $1 (when paired) |
| 6pc Chicken McNuggets | $1 (when paired) |
| Small Fries | $1 (when paired) |
The $2 Tier (Under $3 Menu — Lower End)
Standalone items priced under $2.50 from the new April 2026 McValue lineup.
| Item | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Hamburger | $1.89 |
| Fruit & Maple Oatmeal | $1.99 |
| Vanilla Cone | $1.79 |
| Cheeseburger | $2.43 |
The $3 Tier (Under $3 Menu — Higher End)
Standalone items priced between $2.50 and $3.10. This is where most of the value lives in 2026.
| Item | Average Price |
|---|---|
| McChicken | $3.10 |
| Sausage Biscuit | $2.69 |
| Sausage Burrito | $2.69 |
| Hash Browns | $2.69 |
| Snack Wrap (Ranch or Spicy) | $2.99 |
| 4pc Chicken McNuggets | $3.10 |
| Mini McFlurry | $2.99 |
| Apple Pie | $2.69 |
McDonald’s Combo Meals Prices
A McDonald’s combo, officially called an Extra Value Meal, includes the sandwich, a Medium fries, and a Medium soft drink. Upgrade to Large for about $1 extra. Here is what the most-ordered combos cost in 2026:
| Combo Meal | Medium Average Price |
|---|---|
| Big Mac Meal | $9.29 |
| Big Mac Meal (Large) | $11.09 |
| Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal | around $10.99 |
| Double Quarter Pounder Meal | around $12.49 |
| McChicken Meal | around $7.99 |
| McCrispy Meal | around $9.99 |
| Spicy McCrispy Meal | around $10.49 |
| 10pc Nuggets Meal | around $11.99 |
| 20pc Nuggets Meal (Shareable) | around $15.99 |
| Filet-O-Fish Meal | around $9.99 |
| Big Arch Meal | around $12.99 |
The combo upgrade math: A standalone Big Mac is $5.91. The Big Mac Meal is $9.29. So the fries and drink together cost $3.38 inside the combo. À la carte, those same items run $4.19 plus $2.19, or $6.38. The combo saves you $3 on the same food. Always order the combo if you want fries and a drink anyway.
Most Popular McDonald’s Items
Based on McDonald’s investor disclosures and conversations I have had with two regional managers I have stayed in touch with since 2019, here are the top sellers in the United States in 2026:
- Big Mac — Still the icon. Two patties, special sauce, sesame seed bun. Most recognizable burger in America.
- Chicken McNuggets — McDonald’s sells more than 2.5 billion globally per year. The 4-piece sauce-to-nugget ratio is mathematically perfect.
- World Famous Fries — In all 50 states, in every airport, at every rest stop. Untouchable.
- McChicken — The budget hero. Outsells most premium sandwiches because the price stayed reasonable.
- Egg McMuffin — The breakfast item that refuses to die.
- Snack Wrap — Came back July 2025. Already a top-10 seller after fewer than 12 months on the menu.
Best value picks (my honest 2026 ranking)
- McDouble at $3.65 — Two patties, cheese, unbeatable cost-per-calorie.
- Snack Wrap at $2.99 — Best new value on the menu. Order two.
- 20-piece McNuggets — Cheapest per-nugget price.
- Vanilla Cone at $1.79 — Best dessert deal in fast food.
- $5 Meal Deal — A full lunch for five bucks. Hard to beat.
McDonald’s Menu Prices by State
Here is where things get interesting. McDonald’s prices in America vary so dramatically by state that The Economist uses Big Mac prices as an actual economic indicator.
Big Mac Prices by State (2026 averages)
| State | Average Big Mac Price |
|---|---|
| Texas | $5.04 |
| Mississippi | around $5.10 |
| Oklahoma | around $5.20 |
| Tennessee | around $5.40 |
| Florida | around $5.70 |
| Ohio | around $5.85 |
| Illinois | around $6.10 |
| New York | around $6.50 |
| Massachusetts | around $6.80 |
| California | around $7.10 |
| Hawaii | around $7.20 |
| Alaska | $7.37 |
Why prices vary so much
Three main factors drive the price differences in America:
- State minimum wage laws. California’s $20-an-hour fast-food minimum wage, which took effect April 2024, pushed McDonald’s prices up roughly 8 to 10% in that state.
- Local rent and operating costs. A Manhattan McDonald’s pays Manhattan rent. That gets passed to the customer.
- Franchise discretion. Two stores three miles apart in the same city can charge $1.50 differently for the same Big Mac. I have seen it firsthand in Chicago.
The cheapest Big Mac I have personally bought in 2026 was $3.99 at a McDonald’s in suburban Houston. The most expensive was $9.50 at a McDonald’s in Anchorage. Same sandwich. More than double the price.
McDonald’s near me prices are best confirmed through the official app. Type your address, see your store’s exact menu and pricing. Do not trust third-party menu sites for accuracy.
McDonald’s vs Competitors in the USA
I have spent more money than I would like to admit eating the same meal at four chains in the same week to compare. Here is what 2026 actually looks like.
| Item Category | McDonald’s | Burger King | Wendy’s | Chick-fil-A |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Burger | Big Mac ($5.91) | Whopper ($6.49) | Dave’s Single ($6.79) | — |
| Chicken Sandwich | McChicken ($3.10) | Ch’King ($4.99) | Crispy Chicken ($3.49) | Chicken Sandwich ($5.95) |
| Premium Chicken | McCrispy ($4.79) | Royal Crispy ($5.49) | Spicy Chicken ($5.79) | Spicy Deluxe ($6.69) |
| 10pc Nuggets | $7.29 | $5.99 | $4.99 | 8pc Strips ($6.95) |
| Medium Fries | $4.19 | $3.99 | $3.79 | Waffle Fries ($3.49) |
| Combo Meal Average | $10.49 | $11.49 | $10.29 | $11.99 |
On Subway: Their pricing model is built around footlongs ($9.99 for most signature subs in 2026), so direct comparison is messy. Per-calorie, Subway is rarely cheaper than McDonald’s despite the healthier branding.
On Popeyes: Their chicken sandwich at $4.69 is genuinely better than McDonald’s McCrispy. If chicken sandwich quality is your priority, Popeyes wins. If you want the best burger and breakfast under one roof with consistency in every state, McDonald’s still wins.
Which one wins on what
- Best value sandwich under $4: Wendy’s Crispy Chicken or McDonald’s McChicken (tie)
- Best fries: McDonald’s, no contest
- Best chicken sandwich: Popeyes, then Chick-fil-A, then everyone else
- Best combo meal value: Wendy’s, by about a dollar
- Best breakfast: McDonald’s, by a wide margin
- Best burger flavor (subjective): Whopper when fresh, Big Mac for nostalgia, Wendy’s for fresh-not-frozen patties
If you are optimizing for pure price, Wendy’s edges ahead in 2026. If you are optimizing for breakfast and consistency, McDonald’s still wins.
Calories vs Price Comparison
| Item | Calories | Average Price | Calories per Dollar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Mac | 590 | $5.91 | 100 |
| Big Arch | 1,020 | $8.71 | 117 |
| McDouble | 400 | $3.65 | 110 |
| McChicken | 400 | $3.10 | 129 |
| 10pc Nuggets | 410 | $7.29 | 56 |
| Large Fries | 480 | $5.19 | 92 |
| Egg McMuffin | 310 | $4.29 | 72 |
| Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese | 520 | $6.39 | 81 |
| Snack Wrap | around 250 | $2.99 | 84 |
The McChicken is officially the most calorie-dense food per dollar on the McDonald’s menu in 2026. That is a fact, not a recommendation. If you are training for a marathon, ignore that table. If you are stretching a paycheck, that table is gospel.
Important context: The Big Arch, despite being a $8.71 splurge, gives you more calories per dollar than the Big Mac because it is just that much bigger. Whether that is good or bad depends entirely on what you are trying to do.
How to Order from McDonald’s
There are five ways to order in America in 2026, and they are not priced equally.
- Counter dine-in: The original way. Slowest. Full price. No app discounts unless you pull it up at checkout.
- Self-order kiosk: Faster than the counter. Same menu prices. Better for customizing without awkward back-and-forth.
- Drive-thru: Still the fastest at most stores. Average wait time is about 5 minutes 30 seconds based on QSR Magazine’s 2025 study.
- Mobile app order (pickup or curbside): Cheapest option when paired with rewards. App-only deals appear daily. This is the way.
- Third-party delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub): Expect a 15% to 25% markup on every menu item, plus a delivery fee, plus a service fee, plus a tip. The math is bad. Avoid unless you are stuck.
My ordering strategy: App pickup or app drive-thru, every single time. In one year of tracking, this saved me roughly $310 compared to ordering through DoorDash for the same items. McDelivery prices are higher than restaurant prices, and McDonald’s says so right on their own website.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest item at McDonald’s in 2026?
The cheapest item on the McDonald’s USA menu is the regular Hamburger at $1.89. The cheapest filling option is the McDouble at $3.65, which gives you two patties, cheese, and a bun for the lowest cost-per-calorie on the menu. The cheapest full meal is the new $5 Meal Deal launched April 21, 2026.
How much is a Big Mac in 2026?
The national average Big Mac price in the United States is $5.91 as of April 2026. Prices range from $3.99 at some Texas locations to $9.50 in Anchorage, Alaska. The Big Mac Meal runs about $9.29 for a Medium combo and $11.09 for a Large.
Does McDonald’s still have a Dollar Menu?
The original Dollar Menu no longer exists at McDonald’s. It was replaced by the McValue Platform, and the closest current equivalent is the Under $3 Menu that launched April 21, 2026. It includes at least 10 items priced below $3, including the McChicken, Hash Browns, Sausage McMuffin, and Small Fries.
Are McDonald’s prices the same everywhere in the USA?
No, McDonald’s prices are not the same everywhere in the United States. About 95% of U.S. McDonald’s restaurants are independently owned franchises, and each owner sets their own pricing based on local rent, labor costs, minimum wage laws, and supply costs. That is why a Big Mac averages $5.04 in Texas but $7.37 in Alaska.
What is included in a McDonald’s combo meal?
A McDonald’s combo meal (officially the Extra Value Meal) includes the sandwich, a Medium order of World Famous Fries, and a Medium soft drink. You can upgrade to a Large for about $1 extra and substitute the soft drink for a milkshake or McCafé beverage in most U.S. markets for an additional charge.
How much is a Happy Meal in 2026?
A McDonald’s Happy Meal in the USA costs between $5.89 and $7.29, depending on which entrée you choose. The Hamburger Happy Meal is the cheapest at about $5.89, and the 6-piece Nuggets Happy Meal is the most expensive at about $7.29. Every Happy Meal includes a small entrée, kids fries or apple slices, a kids drink or milk, and a toy.
What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?
Most McDonald’s locations in the United States stop serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. All-day breakfast is not a nationwide program. A small number of 24-hour stores extend breakfast longer, but availability varies by location. Always confirm in the McDonald’s app.
Is the McDonald’s app worth downloading?
Yes, the McDonald’s app is absolutely worth downloading if you eat there even once a month. App users save an average of $1 to $2 per order through deals and rewards points, which adds up to $50 to $100 per year for regular customers. Rewards points stack on top of every deal, and the Free Fries Friday promotion alone saves you $4.19 a week.
What is the most popular item at McDonald’s?
The Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets are McDonald’s two best-selling items in the USA and globally. McDonald’s serves more than 2.5 billion Chicken McNuggets per year worldwide. The McChicken and Egg McMuffin round out the top four bestsellers in America.
Is the Snack Wrap back at McDonald’s?
Yes, the McDonald’s Snack Wrap returned as a permanent menu item on July 10, 2025, after a nine-year absence. It is now available in two flavors, Ranch and Spicy, both priced at $2.99. Each wrap features a McCrispy chicken strip, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and sauce in a flour tortilla.
What is the new Big Arch burger?
The Big Arch is McDonald’s largest U.S. burger ever, launched March 3, 2026. It features two quarter-pound fresh beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, crispy fried onions, slivered raw onions, pickles, lettuce, and the new Big Arch Sauce on a sesame-poppy seed bun. The national average price is $8.71, with a meal running around $12.99.
Does McDonald’s accept Apple Pay?
Yes, McDonald’s accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other contactless payment methods at the vast majority of U.S. locations, both inside the restaurant, at the drive-thru, and through the McDonald’s app.
